How much do science volunteer jobs pay per hour?
What is the difference between Science Volunteer vs Laboratory Assistant?
| Aspect | Science Volunteer | Laboratory Assistant |
|---|---|---|
| Required Credentials | Often no formal credentials; some background in science helpful | Typically requires a high school diploma or relevant certifications |
| Work Environment | Research projects, fieldwork, community science programs | Laboratory settings, research facilities, hospitals |
| Employer & Industry Usage | Nonprofits, research institutions, educational programs | Hospitals, research labs, biotech companies |
| Common Search & Comparison Intent | Understanding volunteer roles in science projects | Job responsibilities and qualifications in labs |
Science Volunteers typically participate in research or community projects without formal employment credentials, often in outdoor or community settings. Laboratory Assistants work in lab environments, supporting scientific experiments and research, usually requiring specific certifications or education. While both roles support scientific work, Science Volunteers focus on community engagement and outreach, whereas Laboratory Assistants are employed in professional lab settings.

- Enthusiasm for mentoring and supporting high school students.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
- Ability to work effectively with students from diverse backgrounds.
Preferred but Not Required:
- Prior experience tutoring or mentoring youth.
- Bilingual proficiency in English and Spanish or Haitian Creole.
PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS & ENVIRONMENT
This role involves standing, walking, and engaging with guests for extended periods. Volunteers may occasionally lift up to 30 pounds and assist outdoors in varying weather conditions. The environment includes both indoor and outdoor spaces at the museum, where volunteers may be exposed to sun, rain, or heat during their shift. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS
- Level 2 background clearance as defined by applicable Florida Statutes, completed through the Florida Care Provider Background Screening Clearinghouse: https://info.flclearinghouse.com.
- Drug screening as part of the Museum's Drug-Free Workplace Program.
